Operation Midnight Hammer involved a precise US military strike on Iranian nuclear facilities, utilizing extensive deception tactics to mislead defenses. Spanning an 18-hour flight to targets at Fordow and Natanz, the operation successfully deployed over 125 aircraft, including B-2 bombers. By diverting attention with decoy aircraft, the military leadership maintained tactical surprise, ensuring minimal interference from Iranian defenses. The mission's complexity underscored the effectiveness of strategic deception as outlined by military doctrine, with key leaders affirming the operation's significance and planning intricacy during a Pentagon briefing.
The operation - Midnight Hammer - began late Friday night when a "large strike package" of bomber aircraft took off from Missouri.
Military deception was vital for tactically surprising Iranian defenses and preventing them from detecting incoming air strikes during Midnight Hammer.
